As has been discussed on the Blog before, one way to reduce costs is to invest in a new A-rated boiler. If you currently have a G-rated boiler (and if it is over 15 years old, it quite possibly is), it may only be converting 72% of it’s fuel into heat. What a waste! In fact a new boiler could save you as much as £235 a year off your bill.

Then there is the environmental effect. If everyone in the UK installed a new A-rated gas boiler, the saved energy compared to a G-rated boiler would be enough energy to heat 3.7 million homes for a year.

If you are looking to replace your old boiler soon, Southern Electric are offering a great deal at the moment. For a limited period, the company are giving customers the opportunity to scrap their G-rated boiler for a new A-rated boiler and get £400 off the bill. They are also offering two year’s free gas boiler and central heating protection, worth £405 when you sign up!
